点评:Our experience this evening was less than favorable, unusual for this restaurant which we’ve visited many times. Most of my dissatisfaction was based on the very poor service. It was my wife’s birthday which I’d noted when making the reservation. I also mentioned the event to our server when we were seated, but no acknowledgement occured during our meal. The staff comprised primarily of young women, were distracting and interrupted the flow of what’s usually a calm, welcoming environment. The clustering of staff near our table in the front of the restaurant was constant. Additionally, several of the staff were not dressed to match the decorum of the restaurant, wearing what appeared to be work-out clothing, The kitchen food servers were also disappointing, displaying zero customer service when plopping food bowls down and then quickly disappearing without offering any additional accompaniments, such as cheese, butter, bread, etc. when asked for bread, we were told that we’d have to wait for our server. The food, while not awful, failed to live up to the price point. The bread for example, was a grainy texture, with an off-putting flavor that wasn’t palatable, made worse because it wasn’t served with butter or oil. The evening special, linguine with langostino in a white sauce, was barely edible, although my wife’s bolognese knocked it out of the park. These inadequacies are not typical and made me wonder if management changes have occurred or if the owner is dealing with fiscal and/or staffing problems. Regardless of the issues, it’s unlikely that I’ll be returning in the near future, since many fine alternative choices are available without the disappointments.
翻译:今晚的用餐体验并不尽如人意,这对于我们光顾过很多次的这家餐厅来说实属罕见。我的大部分不满都源于糟糕的服务。预订时我注意到我妻子的生日。入座后,我还跟服务员提到了生日,但整个用餐过程中,服务员并没有理会我。服务员大多是年轻女性,她们分散了我们的注意力,扰乱了我们原本平静友好的用餐环境。餐厅前排我们桌子附近的服务员也经常聚集在一起。此外,几名服务员的着装不符合餐厅的礼仪,看起来像是运动服。厨房的服务员也令人失望,他们把食物碗放下后就迅速消失,没有提供任何额外的佐料,例如奶酪、黄油、面包等等,完全没有提供任何客户服务。当我们要求提供面包时,服务员却告诉我们必须等待服务员。食物虽然不算难吃,但与价格不符。比如面包,颗粒感很重,味道难闻,根本无法下咽,而且因为没有黄油和橄榄油,味道更糟。晚上的特色菜——白酱龙虾扁意面,几乎无法下咽,不过我妻子点的肉酱面却非常美味。这些不足之处并不常见,让我怀疑是不是管理层发生了变动,或者店主是否遇到了财务和/或人员问题。不管这些问题如何,我近期不太可能再来这家餐厅了,因为还有很多不错的选择,而且不会让我失望。
